(Four generations...I cherish this picture so much now.)

One in a million!

Sadly, my grandma passed this week and I am taking this opportunity to talk about one of the most amazing mothers to walk this planet. Marcella Stephens had 11 children, 47 grandchildren and 12 great-grand children. During her memorial service, my uncle Bob told a story that described my grandmother so well. While in the ICU, struggling to survive, my uncle had fallen asleep next to her bed and in the middle of the night, he awoke to her covering him with a blanket. On her death bed, she was more concerned about her fifty year old son then how challenging it was going to be to get her frail, weak body out of bed. I am so grateful to have known her.
